Fraggle Rock

I remember watching this as a kid with my family. I loved it. It showed so many different types of creatures (Fraggles, Doozers, the Trash Heap...etc) that all made up one world. Everyone lived in relative peace with one another (with a few exceptions.) It showed our world from a different perspective and taught me (remember I was watching this at a young age) different things about the world that I may not have noticed.

Leave it to Jim Henson and crew to come up with this. It seems that everything that he touches is great. Now, I have a young son, and thanks to an old video store that I found tapes of the series that I have bought for him. He loves to watch these shows as much as I did, and I hope that he learns as much from them as I did.

I watched this show with my family when it used to be on HBO, and I just remember how much I loved the adventures and new characters. I found an old tape of them last month and watched them again...and man, they were just as much for adults as they were for kids. It was a really escapist, communist-themed show. All the characters represented something different, some element of a "perfect"community. It was crazy to watch it again and see it in a totally different light. It was then and still is one of the best television shows ever made, period. Even though Convincing John and the gypsy music group scared the hell out of me as a kid (I don't know why!), I loved it then and I love it now. LONG LIVE THE FRAGGLES!!!

This show ruled!! I watched when I was a little kid when it used to air on HBO, then I watched the reruns of the show when it aired on the Disney channel a few years back. This show was really cool since it had an assortment of strange characters like the Fraggles, the Doozers, and the Fraggle capturing Gorgs. It was also good for it's morals as well. Fraggle Rock like many classic children's shows of its time did not talk down to kids nor underestimate their intelligence for that matter. I my honest opinion, they should bring this back to T.V.

By the way, Wembley, and Boober Fraggle Rule!

Jim Henson's "Fraggle Rock" was one of my all-time favorite shows when I was a kid, and it still is one of my all-time favorite shows now that I'm an adult (at 26 years of age, as of this writing). "Fraggle Rock" was about an underground civilization of subterranean creatures and their daily trials & tribulations. They also must contend with the elderly man who lives in the house above where their civilization is located. As many people here and abroad have commented, "Fraggle Rock" tackles a number of important real-world issues but is able to deal with such issues in a way that it doesn't pander to its young audience. That is a rare feat in children's shows these days, and is in fact something that always has long been a problem with children's entertainment. It was also able to do all this and still not lose its appeal as a show for young people. I'm also proud to say that I recently purchased "Fraggle Rock" when it was first released on DVD a few years back and fell in love with one of the most important shows from my childhood all over again.

Long live "Fraggle Rock."

10/10

I watched Fraggle Rock when I was a kid, I thought it to be a magical world and actually believed in a place called Fraggle Rock when I was 4. Recently when it was aired it brought back old memories. The fraggles with their all play and no work was something that I enjoyed as a kid. However I didn't like the Gorgs and I also hoped that humans would one day interact with Fraggles. There are four different creatures: Man- Doc and his dog Sprocket, Fraggles, Douzers and Gorgs. Doc does not know the existence of the Fraggles, Gorgs want to capture the Fraggles and Douzers are the uncomplaining, untiring workers. The Fraggles are mainly Gobo the hero, Wembley, Mookey, Red & Boober.

Great for young kids.
